Getting Around: Airport Terminals, Tri-Rail Rides and Regional Transit

This section helps you get in, out and across South Florida without guessing. Start with Miami International Airport, where the terminal layout, the parking garages and the MIA Mover to the Miami Intermodal Center can confuse even people who fly out of it every year. From there, Tri-Rail runs the commuter line linking Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach, with stations near Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood and Palm Beach International airports.

Each guide gives you the answer first, then the steps and what to have ready before you go. Schedules, fares and parking rates change, so we point you to the Tri-Rail and MIA sources to confirm the details on the day you travel.

Heading to a game or a concert? Check our stadium and arena guides for the venue side of the trip, and browse South Florida neighborhoods once you know where you're landing.
